Traveling is a joy and luxury I fully enjoy. Experiencing new places has taught me so much about myself and the world. Lessons I would have never learned otherwise. Everyday my thoughts wander to past journeys and future destination spots. If only there was unlimited vacation and money to travel all the time.

John Mann, a contender for Hey, Hot Shot!, beautifully portrays travel photography with his series titled Folded In Place. Mann says, "the series finds its exploration of place though a visualization of the map as the final destination." The thoughtfully photographed works illustrate those feelings at the beginning and end of a journey...in both situations you are still finding your way.
